![]() For decades, people have turned to hypnotherapy to help them with all sorts of issues, from resolving hidden issues from childhood to major behavior modification. Hypnotherapy has been used with great success in helping people quit smoking, reduce stress and anxiety, build self-esteem, increase focus and memory retention, eliminate fears and phobias, sleep better, and more. It’s no wonder people are turning to hypnosis in greater numbers to also help them lose weight. Does it work, you ask? Hypnosis works on the unconscious mind through the power of suggestion, and the effectiveness with which a person can be hypnotized depends on how receptive they are to the experience. Put another way, hypnosis works best for people who come at it with an open mind and a true desire for change. How does hypnosis help a person lose weight? The same way it helps modify any behavior, by targeting your habits. It is a person’s habits that lead to excessive weight gain, and it’s a change in those habits, (replacing old “bad” ones with new “good” ones), that produce the kind of changes that can be sustained. To build new, desirable, and sustainable habits, it’s necessary to break down all those old associations regarding yourself, your weight, your appearance, food and eating, exercise, etc. and build new, positive and desirable associations. This is where hypnosis truly shines. In a hypnotic state, you can more easily overcome those unconscious obstacles that can block your weight loss efforts. Most people already know full well that proper diet and exercise is the way to lose weight, and yet so many find themselves helpless to do what they know they “should” be doing. Habits (whether good or bad), become so much a part of us we don’t even think about them most of the time, much less question them. But when we remove our conscious mind from the equation, we’re more easily able to access those deep-seeded assumptions and reprogram thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviors. Successful weight loss is a state of mind. A person must be willing to release that weight – not simply be willing to diet and exercise, but deep down, willing to rid the weight. True success depends on a winning attitude on an unconscious level that permeates everything you do, in whatever you do. Hypnosis can make adopting new, healthier habits so much easier and more pleasurable, as it can put you in the right frame of mind to reap the benefits of all you do to help you reach your weight loss goals. Hypnosis can help with building a new self-image, allowing you to envision yourself at your future, ideal weight. It can help build your optimism, enthusiasm and (most importantly) self-esteem for the task. And, hypnosis can help you experience some of the benefits of living at your ideal weight here and now, in the present, even while you live in the body in which you currently have.
